Spotted / South Iceland / Gamla Fjosid

As we explored the south of Iceland and made our way west towards Reykjavik, we stopped for a bite to eat at this restaurant called Gamla Fjosid (or old cow house). It is located on Route 1 just at the foot of the great glacier/volcano Eyjafjallajökull which erupted in 2010. From the outside it didn’t look like much, but inside is absolute charm galore. Formerly a cow shed, it has since been converted into a restaurant serving delicious meals using local ingredients and meats from its farm.

About Me

Hi – my name is Leslie. Traveling the globe has been (and will continue to be) a big part of my heart, but the place I'll always love first and foremost is this beautiful city I've always called home, San Francisco. Now that I'm no longer rushing to catch my next flight, I've been taking the time to wander around the city more and discovering many great things within each neighborhood. Many of these places I've frequented; others I've had on my list for some time to visit; the rest are random surprises I've stumbled upon along the way. I'm especially loving how welcoming folks are to allow me into their spaces with my camera, and getting the opportunity to know more about them and what they do in return.

These are just some of my favorite places. And I hope to visit and capture many of yours, too.
